2. Grapes/raisins - this is another one most people know about. Remember to remove the raisins from any treats that are shared.
3. Onions - another no brainer. But don't forget chives and garlic too. If there's a tiny amount in something like spaghetti sauce you don't have to worry as long as it's not a regular treat.
4. Raw yeast dough - the rising action causes problems so always make sure dough is cooked.
5. Nuts - I've heard that nuts are bad for our pets but specifically macadamia nuts and walnuts pose a serious threat. If you can't remember what kind of nuts are bad when feeding your pet, just avoid them all and you won't have to worry.
6. Avocado - this was a big shocker for me. I had no idea this was a problem. The pits and skin are especially dangerous. No guacamole!
7. Ice cream - it's the milk that can cause problems - and candy, especially anything sugar-free that contains Xylitol.
8. Bones, raw meat, fish and eggs, fat, skin - some people swear by a raw diet for their pets. Others feed scraps and trimmings. These items can cause serious problems like choking and bacteria - and aren't worth the risk. Don't feed a raw diet unless you have thoroughly researched them and discussed it with your vet.9. Tomato and potato plants, raw potatoes, seeds and pits of fruits and rhubarb.
and my personal pet peeve
10. Alcohol - sorry people, it is NOT funny to get your pet drunk! Our pets have the same effects that we do when drinking but all are amplified and can result in death. Save the booze for you and your people friends instead.
